Set a meeting
Meet in person and in private.
You should approach asking for a raise with the same level of seriousness you would have for a job interview or an important presentation, and you should dress accordingly.

How to Ask for a Raise
A raise
A raise isn’t a favor or a gift; it’s a way for employers to pay fair market valu...
It’s normal to ask
It’s not greedy or entitled to ask for a raise. Unless you work somewhere truly dysfunctional, it’s understood that you work for money. This is okay.
- you’re not asking for an amount that’s wildly out of sync with the market for your work, and
- you have a track record of strong work.
Be emotionally intelligent about your timing
You shouldn’t ask to talk about your salary when your manager is especially harried or having a bad day or nervous about impending budget cuts.
On the other hand, if you’ve just saved the day with an important client or garnered rave reviews for a high-profile project, or if your boss has seemed particularly pleased with you lately, now might be a particularly good time to make the request.

Negotiating On A Job Offer
Many people often make mistakes during their first job offer negotiation. However, it isn't all ill-fated. Negotiating during a job offer takes proper research, practice, and confidence.
...How To Negotiate On A Job Offer
- Study your prospective employer. There are many different websites that let you take a glimpse into their salaries, work culture, and benefits.
- Ask for advice from your seniors or those who are in the same role as the one you're applying for and take culture into consideration.
- Identify your negotiables and non-negotiables. It's important to understand that once you accept circumstances that make you miserable, you will only bring negativity to your wellbeing, productivity, and performance.
Potential Negotiables That Aren't About Salary
- A different start-date
- More vacation or paid time off
- Flexible hours and work-days
- Performance bonuses
- Working space reimbursements
- Professional development such as external training opportunities
- Onsite child care (if you have any)
- A better job title (for a resume boost)
- Travel expenses reimbursement
- Higher 401(k) contributions (for those in the U.S.)
